This statement affects three major events that take place annually over the Christmas Holiday period, the Bermuda Football Association’s Shield and Friendship Semi-Finals and Final, Bermuda Harness Pony Racing and Bermuda Motocross Racing, all three have events on Boxing Day and New Years Day.

Chairman Burgess said, “The competitions committee will discuss scenarios when we have a clear indication of when football can recommence.
